 Foreword  
Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has  adopted Standard No. ( IEC 
61851 -1:2017 ) “Electric vehicle conductive charging system - Part 1: General requirement s" 
issued by ( IEC) in English. This standard has been approved as a Saudi Standard with national  
modifications.  
 
Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has approved the Amendment  
of Standard N o. (SASO/DS/IEC 61851 -1:2018/AMD1:2022 ), (Electric vehicle conductive 
charging system - Part 1: General requirement s). This amendment has been approved as a 
complementary part of the Saudi Standard No  (SASO IEC 61851 -1:2018). Standard has been 
varied as indicated to take account of Kingdom of Saud i Arabia conditions.

 6. Charging modes and functions  
 
 6.2.1 Mode 1  
 
Replace : 
 
The rated values for current and voltage shall not exceed:  
– 16 A and 250 V AC, single -phase,  
– 16 A and 480 V AC, three -phase.  
 
EV supply equipment intended for Mode 1 charging shall provide a protective earthing  
Conductor from the standard plug to the vehicle connector.  
Current limitations are also subject to the standard socket -outlet ratings described in 9.2  
 
 
By:  
 
EV supply equipment intended for Mode 1 charging is not permitted in The Kingdom of 
Saudi Arabia and is not allowed to be imported.  
 
 
6.2.2 Mode 2  
 
Replace : 
 
Mode 2 is a method for the connection of an EV to a standard socket -outlet of an AC supply 
network utilizing  an AC EV supply equipment with a cable and plug, with a control pilot 
function and system for personal protection against electric shock placed between the standard 
plug and the EV.  
 
The rated values for current and voltage shall not exceed:  
– 32 A and 25 0 V AC single -phase;  
– 32 A and 480 V AC three -phase.  
Current limitations are also subject to the standard socket -outlet ratings described in 9.2.  
EV supply equipment intended for Mode 2 charging shall provide a protective earthing  
conductor from the standard plug to the vehicle connector.  
 
Mode 2 equipment that is destined to be mounted on a wall but is detachable by the user, or to 
be used in a shock resistant enclosure shall use protection equipment as required by IEC 62752.  
 
By:  
 
Mode 2 is a metho d for the connection of an EV to a socket -outlet of an AC supply network 
utilizing an AC EV supply equipment with a cable and plug, with a control pilot function and 
system for personal protection against electric shock placed between the plug and the EV.  
 
Using EV supply equipment intended for Mode 2 charging is prohibited in public areas and 
allowed to be used in private areas under the following conditions:  SASO STAN DARD                                                              SASO/DS/IEC  61851 -1:2018/AMD1:2022  
 
 
 - EV supply equipment equipped with a plug for household and similar  use shall be as 
per SASO IEC 60309 (Series).  
- The socket -outlet  shall be provided with protection from earth leakage current.   
- The socket -outlet  shall  be as per SASO IEC 60309 (Series) . 
- The rated values for current and voltage shall  be: 
           -16 A and 2 30 V AC single -phase;  
 
Mode 2 equipment that is destined to be mounted  on a wall but is detachable by the user, or to 
be used in a shock resistant enclosure shall use protection equipment as required by IEC 62752.
